Now Mentos Lemonade is on the chopping block…

Will the madness ever end?

Am I the only one who loves sour gum?

Will I find a replacement?

Alas!

Holy CRAP, this is delicious gum! It’s like chewing lemonade!!!

Rummy Gum Thoughts…

Mentos Pure - Cooler Lemonade - nice, fresh flavor and a subtle, but fun lemony tang. Wish I could find a gum that was super, SUPER tart/sour, but I haven’t yet. Any suggestions?

Trident Layers - CoolMint + Melon Fresco - Kind of meh. Disappointingly half-hearted mint AND melon flavor, when mingled together, became double-meh.

Trident Layers - SweetCherry + IslandLime - Yum. Nice, bold cherry taste with an after-zing of lime. Not as “sex in your mouth” as my beloved GreenApple + GoldenPineapple, but still a solid chew.

Trident - Wild Blueberry Twist - Rumor has it this gum is being discontinued. It’s actually pretty good and a solid blueberry-ish gum. Again, I wish there were a super-tangy gum on the market, but this is yum nonetheless.

Trident - Minty Sweet Twist - Oh YUM. I almost taste a hint of chocolate in it, but it’s like an after-dinner mint like you (used to?) get at The Olive Garden, but in a gum. Wish they made chocolate/peanut butter Trident Layers gum, because I would SO buy that!

Ice Breakers - Ice Cubes Strawberry Smoothie - Meh. The consistency of this gum is SUPER gross, but the bubbles make up for it.

Ice Breakers - Ice Cubes Kiwi Watermelon - Another solid, yummy, “fruity” gum, save for its gross consistency. Still not as good as my favorite Extra Sweet Watermelon, but the consistency of that gum is gross too, so it all balances out. :P

Ice Breakers - Ice Cubes Raspberry Sorbet - I should’ve bought two of these at the Dollar Store. Really yummy, full-bodied raspberry flavor that makes you almost forget the gross consistency of the gum itself…almost.

This has been…Rummy Gum Thoughts!
